Fokker E.V 187/18 „001” 7. Aviation Squadron. Lwów-Lewandówka Airbase, April-June 1919. Ltn. Stefan Stec
The airplane repainted in Lwów in traditional white-and-red tail
scheme from the period before introduction of the white-and-red
checkerboard. Original “Warsaw” “001” number probably covered by the
lozenge fabric patch. White “S” has already been Stefan Stec’s personal
marking during the Great War fights over the Italian Front. Markings of
aeroplane Stec flew in air combat with Ukrainian Nieuport piloted by
Austrian ACE Franz Rudorfer on 29th April 1919 over Lwów.Fokker E.V 157/18. Jagdstaffel 6, August 1918. Lt. Wolff „Wolff III” and Gefr. Kurt Blümener
Jasta 6 of the elite Jagdruppe I called Richthoffen’s Flying Circus
was the first squadron equipped with the Fokker E.V airplanes. The first
“Razors” came to the unit on 5. August 1918 and soon almost whole Jasta
has been equipped with the new type. The airframes were marked with
white-and-black stripes on the tail and wheels and characteristic black
star on the white engine cover. Individual markings were white or
white-and-black figures like arrows, stripes, lightings etc. Two pilots
shared the black-and-white checkerboard-marked airplane: Lt. Wolff
called “Wolff III” (there were two other famous pilots with that surname
in the Gruppe: Richthoffen’s friend Kurt Wolff and Hans Joachim Wolff)
and Gefr. Kurt Blümener.Fokker E.V Jagdstaffel 36, Summer 1918

One of the Fokker E.V equipped squadrons was the Jasta 36, earlier
using the blue-marked Dr.I triplanes. The aircraft with the (most
probably) red star is known from the two photographs, where the shade of
the star is clearly different than the cross’ black and blue engine
cowling. The tail may have been left in lozenge or painted in blue
colour as a unit marking.

#70013 Fokker E.V Junior Set

Junior Set is prepaeed not only for begginers, but also for
expereinced modelers looking for quick built one. It contents plastic
parts and decals by Techmod.
See model in shop linkFokker E.V. 160/18(?) Marine Feld Jasta 1. Jabbeke, Flanders, August 1918. Lt. z. S. Gotthard Sachsenberg (31 aerial victories)
Leutnant zur See Gotthard Sachsenberg, former schoolmate of the
legend of the whole German fighter aviation, famous Oswald Boelcke, was
in February 1917 the creator and commander of the Marine Feld Jasta (MFJ
I – first Navy Field Fighter Squadron). Unit’s duty was defence of the
Belgian harbours actively used as Kriegsmarine u-boat bases. In
following months more squadrons were created, in June 1918 followed by
the three-squadron Marine Jagdgruppe (Naval Fighter Group), commanded by
Sachsenberg, who remained also the commander of the MFJ I. All the
naval Gruppe fighters were marked with yellow, while the Staffeln were
distinguished by the number of the black stripes on the elevators: MFJ I
had one, MFJ II had two, and MFJ III – three. Since 10. April Marine
Jastas were receiving the new Fokkers E.V and one of them, probably
160/18, has been assigned to the Gruppe commander, Sachsenberg. The
aircraft has soon been painted with his personal marking –
black-and-yellow checkerboard. Naval Fokkers took active part in fights
over the front but the order grounding the type after the wing failures
soon ceased their activity. Sachsenberg liked the Fokker E.V very much
so he has chosen this type also after the War, during fights against
Bolshevik in Latvia.Fokker E.V/D.VIII 175/18. Poznań/Ławica Airbase, Poland, Winter 1926
The airplane was used 1922-1926 in Aviation Maintenance School in
Poznań/Ławica. In 1924 was part of the aviation exhibition during the
Poznań Fair on the roof of the Aviation Hall. In September 1926 has been
presented with renovated Friedrichshafen G.III bomber.
